The capacity to learn is hereditary, but all animals except a very few at the margin can be trained. Even humans. It’s just that the cost increases with the decrease in neotenic evolution and or class.
@ThruTheHayes
Please contribute one of your dog vs human training examples here. Not just for this fellow but so I can save it and quote you given that this false objection comes up all to regularly.
Manners are imitation. The rest is intelligence. Even kids with 60IQ’s can be taught exceptional manners. In fact, that’s about all that’s necessary for them to successfully survive in society despite their deficits.
The same is true for dogs. To train a Siberian Husky ,which is not all that dissimilar from a house cat, is possible, it’s just a LOT more work than training a golden or labrador retriever.

Empirical evidence from southern culture disagrees with you. The fact that someone can be taught manners, may not in fact, produce infinte resistance to antisocial or criminal impulse, nor does success in adopting those manners guarrantee literacy, reading comprehension, learning without excessive repetition, the capacity to use logic of even the first order, or the learning of abstact concepts. It’s just imitation. I would say that many of the southern blacks raised in teh church with stable families have far better manners than self congratulatory whites.
Perhaps this is yet another example of my capacity to disambiguate a class into a specrum of qualities, which is, in itself a capacity of observation, evidence, reason and the occasional application of basic logic. But that does not mean that we should, as does the left, engage in INFLATION (lying) to claim a general principle of a class is specific to all members of the class. Just because more whites are over 115IQ (which is probably the beginning of the smart fraction), does not mean that all whites are capable of 115IQ, suppression of impulse, self regulation, avoidance of antisocial or criminal, seditious, or treasonous behavior. 😉
(not that I don’t respect your leadership for those who lack the ability to judge such things, but that is different from resspecting my audience of those who possess that aability to judge such things. 😉
Love you brother. But we only need to head in the same genral direction to save our people, not follow the same exact route. And some of us seek to save the rest of mankind as well. (Or at least most of them.) 😉

Why is it that I must explain myself when the context is obvious. We are discussing simple civil manners. Manners you weren’t taught if you respond as you did….

This really bothers me. Because it is possible. The differences between us in these matters is a function of training (discipline) not ability. https://twitter.com/AliceTeller/status/1742631757050945606

THE FUTURE OF PROGRAMMING: SHOULD I STILL LEARN TO CODE? 😉
I don’t give our career advice without deep knowledge of the individual and the industry. I have a few cognitive flaws and that is overestimating people, and I find that it’s counterproductive.
However, I would say that the population of most white collar jobs will decrease, and rather drastically, on the scale of the farming to labor, and the labor to automation, and clerical to computer shifts.
So any opinion anyone gives on the future is worth whatever monetary bet they are willing to put on it, and nothing more. Me included.
That said, I see programming very quickly elimiating programmers per se, and instead, the work left to people who tell AI’s what to program, and people who tell AI’s what to test, and what to fix or improve – and so ‘programming’ will require fewer people. Even if I suspect the high end will always consist of ‘cunning humans’ who augment their theories with AIs that make testing those thories cheaper.
Example, when I first started writing applications I was surpised how much more productive I was than the prevoius generation of programmers (cobol fortran etc). Then when I built my first consulting companies, as the PC world replaced the iron and expanded further into more niches, then it might take 25-75 people to write some software application. But within a few years that number dropped to five. Same thing with games. I wrote some amazing games in assembler when in my early twenties. But today it can either take a whole studio many years to produce a game, or an individual just a few months.
The difference ‘now’ is that we have been rapidly increasing the population of programmers, and we have been producing a lot of bad (sh**t) code, because the browser tech encourages bad (sh**t) code. So I expect AIs to not only replace masses of programmers writing bad (sh**t) code, but that such a replacement will add to a change in the browser tech (long overdue). Furthermore if you look at my company’s app (which is on hold at the moment) it replaces dozens of other apps, becasue most apps aren’t, apps or platforms, they’re features begging to be consolidated.
So what I look at that horizon I see work to be done in programming, and perhaps more better code, but I can’t tell if a drop in the existing employment is short and mediumterm, or long term. Or whether the meaning of programming is just shifting to using english instead of progrmming languages and that many more people will be needed to produce better software more cheaply.
Cheers
